The Power is introduced with a letter: author Neil Adam Armon writes a letter to fellow author Naomi Alderman, thanking her profusely for reading his book, explaining that it is not quite history, not quite a novel. ![]() ![]() She is also the author of The Liars Gospel and Disobedience, which won the Orange Prize for New Writers, has been published in ten languages, and has been made into a film by Rachel Weisz.
